WEYMOUTH (AP) -- A state investigation says there's no evidence of substandard care in the recent deaths of two women after childbirth at a Weymouth hospital.

The Patriot Ledger reports a complaint was found invalid in one of the cases and the Department of Public Health says in the other case it was unable to determine the validity of the complaint. The state report was released on Friday.

In one case, the state said no record of an evaluation of the patient before the use of anesthesia could be found, although the anesthesiologist recalls performing the evaluation. The state investigator found this deficiency was not related to either death.

UMass to open facility in Boston

BOSTON (AP) -- The University of Massachusetts says it plans to boost its presence in downtown Boston by opening an academic and administrative building in 2016.

All five of the UMass campuses will be given the chance to offer classes at the Beacon Street facility near the Statehouse. University officials say those classes will serve people who work in the city and want to continue their education.

UMass president Robert Caret said the new facility, to be known as the UMass Center on Beacon Hill, represents a major step forward for the school. Caret and other administrators will move there from their current Franklin Street offices.

The school has signed a 15-year lease beginning January 2016 for the 31st and 32nd floors of the building, which will also house the UMass Club, a meeting place for alumni.

Teacher slay suspect due in court

BOSTON (AP) -- A teenager charged with killing his teacher is due in court this week on charges stemming from an assault on a Department of Youth Services worker. Philip Chism, 15, of Danvers, is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Suffolk County Juvenile Court.

Chism is charged with murder in the killing of his math teacher, Colleen Ritzer, 24, in October.

He was indicted last month for allegedly assaulting a 29-year-old female staff member at the Metro Youth Services facility in Boston, where he was being held while awaiting trial in Ritzer's death. Chism is charged with attempted murder by strangulation, assault with intent to murder, kidnapping and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

Prosecutors say Chism followed the woman into a bathroom and physically assaulted her.
